Touchstone Semiconductor's Martin Tomasz explains how to interfact to capacitive touch sensors using basic 555-timer circuits.

Capacitive sensors Elite series non-contact sensors measure very small displacements of conductive materials with high resolution in precise positioning Compact WA and WI inductive displacement ...

Engineers need to know the technology and limitations behind the available sensors if they want to make the right choice.

Two sensor plates – a target and a probe – form a parallel-plate capacitor, with the spacing of the plates measured using an electronic controller. Measurement ranges from 20 µm to 1250 µm are ...

PI (Physik Instrumente) offers a new brochure on capacitive nanometrology displacement sensors and signal conditioning electronics. The brochure presents PI’s sensor systems and also features a ...

It is specially designed for measuring internal diameters in extruder housings from 32 to 180 mm. The system offers unsurpassed accuracy due to measurements using capacitive displacement sensors.

We are therefore able to produce a single or multiple sensor channel arrangement in one sensor body,” he adds. Custom capacitive sensors As well as eddy current sensors, Micro-Epsilon has also ...
